As more people turn to on-demand TV and online-exclusive series instead of one-episode-a-week shows on mainstream channels, it's becoming increasingly difficult to resist watching back-to-back episodes of your favourite show for hours straight.

There's one group of online streamers who take this to the next level: "binge-racers."

Accomplishing in just 24 hours what it takes the average person weeks to achieve, these speedy individuals rush through an entire series in just a single day — and according to Netflix, there are some series they're more likely to power through than others.

Although it may sound like a past-time reserved for students, the ill, and the unemployed, over 8.4 million Netflix users have "binge-raced" a series in their lifetime. And this figure is only set to rise — the number of "binge-racers" has increased 20 times over since Netflix launched in 2013, according to the company.

Scroll on to discover the 20 most "binge-raced" shows on UK Netflix, ranked in ascending order.
